act of god. my ducati is bruised

Yesterday leaving work on a tree covered two-lane road in upper montgomery county, a 5" in diameter tree branch fell into the road in front of me while traveling about 45 mph. i had no time to react, yet thankfully braced for impact and struck the 10' long branch perpendicularly. My back tire came off the ground about a foot, and i rode it out into the side of the road.

Blowing the front tire, bending the rim in by at least an inch, and crushing the front fork, i remained upright...thanks to some recent motocross experiences.

Geico is covering it all, ...but my baby is very sad right now,. and so am i.
